Reliance India call reacts to Airtel Call Home, lowers the price in par with Airtel
Good news, Reliance lowered their price (at least till 31st Jan 07).
Now, that is pretty hard for reliance india call loyalists to switch. Even though I want to thank airtel for bringing in the price war, I am still mad at the way they have launched their service without proper testing.

he,he,he … all those airtel bashers will now eat their words. Just got to know that my friend registered with Reliance to get their double talktime promi, instead they have just change the promo by giving some extra minutes over and above the actual minutes but not double of it. Looks like reliance is chickening out slowly…1st they promise double talktime just to change it 2 days later, 2ndly, their rates cud be temporary till 31 jan. Atleast airtel delivers what it says, ofcourse apart from the initial hiccups

Reliance’s double talkime my foot…..these idiots are actually not giving the extra talktime, but giving some extra benefits in minutes which are actually not double. Hello there, who are you trying to fool. The entire announcement on the web is not at all clear……just some days ago they adverstised it as double talktime. I think u’re right, they don’t have the balls to copy airtel. dunno about the rates either, whether its gonna be till 31 jan. Nothing is clear out here.

VOIP cheap or not cheap?
BW blog has a blog on how VOIP is not the cheapest option for calling international. However, I feel that going VOIP is not just about international calls, it provides more options for the same buck(s). I just got a mailer from AT&T saying that the…

I have been using Startec. It is superb. The same 7.9 cents. These are guys launched 7.9 cents first. Their web site is fantastic. By pressing 2 buttons, I can talk to my folks at home in India. You can see bills onl;ine. It is automatically bill to the credit card. Totally hassle free.

GOOD-BYE AIRTEL CALL HOME
Experience with Airtel Callhome has been indeed very painful. firstly their site doesnt work if it bychance shows a glimpse of their homepage…..the other links on it doesnt work…..they are big cheaters. I belive they are FRAUD!!
Now they announced their Summer Shower scheme to give Some extra talktime….bt it is not so….their website is down from last 3 days & I personally have been facing difficulty to make calls….they have very poor Quality & service and is totally Unsatisfactory.
I Plan to quit Airtel and will find better option. My frns who have been using Reliance says a lot about the Voice Clarity & amazing Customer support services……SO good bye Airtel…..foreverrrrrr!!

Airtel Call home really Sucks!!
Even I agree that they have the worst service in the world
their service sucks….really sucks big time… now even their latest Summers Shower offer is super flop. Since the day they announced, their website is down and not workin. website is so slow looks like the top management themselves physical load the data when you log on. Even when one tries calling their Customer care number they never respond.
If this will be the level of service they give Soon they should pack their bags & move. Seems they r having hard times as reliance India Call has come up with many new offers and with quality Service & nominal rates.
I feel airtel is finding difficult to cope with Reliance as it has matched their rate to Airtel, I myself see no point in going thro’ the Airtel frustration and I have stopped using Airtel and switched back to Reliance…

Airtel Sucks———Reliance Rocks!!
What kind of service Airtel is providing they ONLY know…….bcoz their website never works…..their customer care numbr doesnt work…..they dont revert to E-mails…..you can not get through numbers…..lines always busy…..they charge you extra…..they give no offers…..even wen you fulfill all conditions….So I Have pretty much given up on AirTel Call home & now Started using Reliance back. For the last couple of weeks been very delighted to use Reliance…….need not to bother much & good easy connectivity!!
I for one though will never use AirTel again!
June 2, 2007 at 1:46 am
Pathetic simply Pathetic!!!
This is what i would call Airtel callhome service. Ever since they launched they seems to have one or the other problem. Even now on their new Summer Showers Offer…they have proven themselves NUTs……there site is down from last 4-5 days & they dont respond to phone calls/emails. Their customer care no is always busy. That junk of webpages which they call as website is fully broken and too slow…it never works!! Don’t go with Airtel.
I feel Reliance India call is much better….No issues with reliance…..Had been using it for more than an year. They have also slashed their prices. More important I heard that they are bringing some offers very soon.

Airtel should stop providing Airtel Call Home Service because at airtel
-Website Does’nt Work
-Customer Care Does’nt work
-E-mails Does’nt work
-Registration Does’nt work
-Recharge Does’nt work
-TOLL Free Does’nt work
I wonder why the hell they are Working!! So, I think even they should stop working. Let their be space for some one good service provider who understans customer nees better ie. Reliance India Call which are far far better. Reliance gives some better offers and they keep their Promise.

I could tell u one thing, Reliance India Call sucks, I bet you there is no one to attened to ur calls. I have worked for Reliance earlier so guess i should know some…
Have been trying to connect on to the 1866 # and its always not available. Their website to has no plce where u can voice ur comments. Just a prominent tab on where u have u put ur credit card info.. Damm have been using this service for 3 years but today am kind of finished with it…

They all suck - the only one I’ve had a good experience with is Startec. I’ve been a customer on and off for years and with their rate now at 6.9¢ I have no excuse (and neither should anyone else).
I get my bill electronically, I can check every detail of my service online (and the website is THERE and doesn’t take 2 hours to load like Reliance). The only time I’ve called customer service it went fine.
I had enough of the half-baked products that Airtel and Reliance are peddling… I’m sticking to Startec (until someone does a 4¢ rate!)

Reliance quality is going down.. Their website is down many times. If you call using the local toll free access number the phone get disconnected automatically after few minutes. If I am paying higher charges I expect to get value for my money. I am seriously thinking to switch to airtel. Airtel is offering 6 cents versus reliance 7.4 or 7.9 cents which is 20% higher then airtel.
